JUNHO (2PM) and Kim MinHa transform into passionate Gen X members in the new TV series "Taepung Trading Company."
tvN's new Saturday and Sunday TV series "Taepung Corporation" is about the 1997 IMF crisis, and the employees are also struggling with financial difficulties.
It depicts the struggles and growth of Kang Tae-poong (JUNHO), a rookie trading company employee who becomes the president of a trading company with nothing to sell. The "god life" of the X generation before the MZ generation is expected to be revived.
In those days, working 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, was the norm. We had to push and shove on crowded buses and subways, take shared taxis, and even wear suits and stand in rainwater up to our waists, whether it was raining or snowing.
The Korean office workers of the 1990s who made it to work, jostling for jobs. In an era without smartphones or messengers, they endured daily life struggling with telephones, calculators, and fax machines.
The story of "The Divine Life of a Man" resonates deeply with modern office workers. "Taepoong Trading Co." is set against the backdrop of this passionate and intense daily life, and tells the story of an ordinary man who faced the enormous crisis of the IMF head-on.
The released stills draw attention by giving a glimpse into the life of Kang Tae-poong and Oh Mi-sung (Kim MinA) as trading company employees.
Kang Tae-poong suddenly joins Tae-poong Trading Co., Ltd. one day. He is an inexperienced new employee who doesn't know what an unpaid bill is and receives faxes as if they were phone calls.
His passion for learning is stronger than anyone else's. His sparkling eyes as he takes notes in his notebook in the conference room are a perfect example of this. Furthermore, he surprises those around him with unexpected inspiration born from his instincts.
He has the potential to be a dynamic salesman. At his side is his reliable ace accountant, Oh Mi-seon.
He is naturally meticulous and memorizes all the exchange rates, even the inconspicuous ones.
She has a keen understanding of the details and overcomes crises, and she doesn't know the word "appropriate." She teaches Kang Tae-poong what the true nature of a boss is and how interesting and valuable this job is.
The story of the rookie CEO and the ace accountant, two polar opposites, meeting and unfolding in the 'divine' life of a businessman, is anticipated. Kang Tae-poong's intuitive drive and Oh Mi-seon's precise realism
Their senses fill in the gaps between them and create an unexpected harmony. In the stills photos released, the two sit side by side, absorbed in their work, showing a similar yet different chemistry, and the story that will unfold from now on.
We look forward to the synergy of the trading company life. What kind of exciting storm will JUNHO and Kim MinHa create? "Daepoong Trading Company" will premiere on the 11th at 9:10 PM.
